Latest attack against the president s travel ban. Big week for diplomacy and the president being anything but diplomatic with the media. Check this out if you havent seen it. What white house is saying after the president retweeted this particular video. Has he gone too far . We will get to that tweet in a bit. President trump is spending part of his poll day weekend at his new jersey golf course and in another series of tweets announced hes been preparing for overseas trip later this week. He chatted with the heads of germany, italy and france ahead of them. Ahead of meeting with them this friday for the g20 summit. While there he is also planning on sitting down with russia president Vladimir Putin. Garrett haak is at the white house for us. What is going on with the preparations for g20. A lot of important things to discuss but a lot of people are trying to interpret what trump and putin are saying to each other. Thats right. The meeting with Vladimir Putin will be the single most closely watched meeting of any at the g20. One of the few the president has spoken to recently who he hasnt actually met. We will come back to that in a second. But the phone calls the president made over the last few days we know he spoke to leaders of china and japan yesterday focussing mainly on the threat from north korea. Three european leaders he spoke with this morning, no official read out from the white house on those conversations. Of the three i would be most curious to know, what is discussed with Angela Merkel. President trump, then candidate trump, very critical of german immigration policy and of merkel during the campaign. They had that frosty meeting at the white house after President Trump was elected. And Angela Merkel signalled she wants a big part of the g20 summit to be about Climate Change and defending the paris accord that President Trump pulled the United States out of. That being the main call today i would be watching. Then there is this meeting with Vladimir Putin. We know a Top State Department official met with the Russian Ambassador or is meeting with the Russian Ambassador to lay ground work for that meeting. The white house is not saying a lot about what is on the agenda for that meeting. But we do know that president looked for and continues to look for ways to work with russia and particularly work with Vladimir Putin on areas of mutual interest including fighting terrorism. A lot of folks staying tuned for that meeting and what if anything the white house will say about what the president wants to accomplish coming out of that meeting. Garrett, department of justice official quit recently over the weekend. Saying that try to hold companies to standards that are Current Administration is not living up to cognitive disdense that couldnt overcome to sit across the table from companies and question how committed they were to ethics and compliance felt not only hypocritical but shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. Whats the back story here . This is an Ethics Compliance officer who worked at the justice dme Justice Department in 2015. My understanding of the position is it is more like an outside contractor and someone who is everyday doj official. Again working with companies on making sure that they comply with government ethics rules. This woman resigned a short time ago and wrote the essay you just quoted from on her linkedin page. That surfaced in a lot of media outlets. People picking it up and pointing out the kog thcognitiv disdense they dus cussediscusse. As former Obama Administration staffer or Obama Administration worker there at doj and this white house has been fairly outspoken about trying to make sure they get their people in positions at the Justice Department among other places, alan. Right. There are places on social media that might suggest she is partisans, we dont know what her motivation is. We will try to get to the would the bottom of that. Garrett, thank you. I have the good fortune every time i look up on tv of being with you. Thanks. Garrett haake at the white house. Once again challenging the president s travel ban. The new ban on thursday after last Weeks Supreme Court decision to hear the case. But hawaii central in the case against the government is calling the list ill logical. Why is it that you know, those people are not allowed to come into the country . You know, what National Security commissioner are you thinking about . Of those predominantly muslim countries that are are banned, here is a look at exceptions to those that have family ties. Right . So if you have, on the left of the screen, if you have a parent, spouse, fiance which was clarified, initially fiances were not allowed. Child adult son or daughter, soninlaw, daughter in law, sibling, they can come in. Grand parent, grandchildren, aunts, nieces, uncles, brothers in law, sisters in law, other extended family members are not allowed. You are in a tie today. Lets talk about this for a second. Youre questioning the logic of the familial ties adds the administration wishes to enforce this travel ban. The Supreme Court made clear that what was most important to them was that the travel ban be enforced against people who have no connection to the United States. And so and then what they did is went on to give examples of people who could have a clearer close familial relationship with people who were in the United States and one of them was our l shaykhs motherinlaw. What says if youre a sisterinlaw or step sister then that is enough after connection to bring you into the United States. Where as if youre a grandmother, as i was making in my comment before, or an aunt or uncle, then somehow that is not thats not good enough. And so really what were trying do is just seek clarification before we start seeing a lot of lawsuits can come into the Hawaii District Court asking for different relief. Judge, why dont you just tell us what that standard is and i think that will help everybody. And you being a lawyer, you would understand the legaling a umts. Im not, so i dont. Whats the issue here . Is the issue the way the Trump Administration outlined the ban or the way the issue of clarity or the way that court issued its order last week. Well, we really believe that u. S. Government is adopting two restrictive and interpretation that are there trying to bite off a little bit more than what the Supreme Court was actually giving them and so, you know, our argument is that look, what the u. S. Government is doing right now is, theyre creating this presumption that again goes against the people who are trying to get into the United States when what the Supreme Court was saying was something very opposite. Saying that for now, between now and october, what we want to do is if you have no connection then were not going to let you in. But if you have a bona fide connection to the United States, either individual or entity, then that is something that brings you in. Again, were just trying to seek clarity on this. And i understand that when you bring a case forward youve got to do it on the basis of law. If you are a bona fide refugee, and your contact point in the United States is Refugee Agency or sponsoring agency, you dont qualify to come into the United States now. So the refugees, the real reason we talk about syria in a lot of cases, they are out under this ban . Right. So that is a big problem with what the u. S. Government is adopting in their position. In the Supreme Court opinion what was this is they are are saying we want to make sure that we are taking care of the plaintiffs that are in this lawsuit. Meaning the hawaii plaintiffs, individual plaintiff in our case, but also the Refugee Association that brought the lawsuit in the Fourth Circuit case on the east coast. So this decision to not allow refugees who have a connection to Refugee Association here, that is completely opposite from what the Supreme Court was trying to say which was that we want to take care of the people who are actually harmed right now. No connection to people that they dont get in. But anyway, we really need to get some direction from the court. I spoke with chris last week who sent a letter to the secretaries of state, of all states, asking for voter role data which goes well beyond public domain, Public Information data. And secretaries of state say they arent complying with this. Whats hawaiis position . We havent gotd gotten the letter yet. Sometimes mail takes a long time to get here. However, once that request does come in, im sure its go tock treated with a lot of skepticism. I think what we are seeing from all around the nation, is that you have red states and blue states that are very concerned about this request. Not just from a privacy standpoint, but just even in terms of complying with their laws. Donald trump is donald trump thinks have you something to hide. He tweeted this not you, necessarily. But states that refuse ped. Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished voter fraud panel. What a what are are they trying to hide . By all accounts voter fraud incidents are very low. But the bigger problem is denying people voter access, that is a big concern that i think both red states and blue states have brought up. And finally, i think the other concern that people have is that were being asked to provide this over something that is unsecure. So were giving up a lot of private information that belongs to our citizens and thats something that we need to defend. Thank you for being with us. By the way, i make fun of you for wearing a tie last time. Just so you know, i dont know if you can see me on tv, im wearing a tie. Thats great. Happy fourth of july. I decided to wear a hawaiian shirt to show my state pride. There you go. Love it. Good to see you, as always. We will talk again soon. Thank you. Attorney general from hawaii. Turning to health care. Unfinished business hanging off the heads of members of congress as they wake up in their home distri district with the front page still lingering about Health Care Reform stuck in the senate. One rally happened in Southern California and thats where we find steve paterson. Steve, a lot of folks out there with you this afternoon. What was their message . Reporter yeah, this rally wrapped up about a half hour ago. Highly emotion. I was telling katy tur, they are worried about losing basic care for their families, for them sem selves. We spoke to doctors, nurses, patients. We set the scene for what this is all about. I want to play that for you right now. It is about health care being a human right, as opposed to an option. About giving patients the fighting chance for their life to also pursue having patient be able to have primary Health Care Services and not using the emergency room as their primary source of health care. Reporter another good example of this is Joanna Joshua wp her beautiful daughter, jasmine. One of the jungest patient here. Talk about your story and why you came here. Definitely. So jasmine has hypo plastic left heart. She has heart of a heart. And a lot of her organs are flip end in opposite sides of where they should be in her body. When ways four months pregnant, i found out that jasmine had this condition. And shes had two open heart surgeries with one to go. And she will need an event you eventual heart transplant. What is your fear . My fear is she will lose a lot of protection under essential health benefits. My fear is that the preexisting conditions will alter her health care as well as lifetime caps. She has over 3 million in medical bills thus far. Reporter what is your message . My message to the senators who are changing the future is, please, you know, take away healaway please dont take away health care from jasmine. Reporter nothing is getting jasmine down. No. She is very strong and she is fighting. Im right beside her fighting. We will fight this so she has Proper HealthCare Coverage needed. Not just to stay alive for today but for many years to come. Reporter thats the message weve heard all day from this rally. Thank you so much. Thank you. Steve, that kids got spunk. Reporter shes got real spunk, right . Nothing is getting jasmine down. Nothing. But that is the message weve heard all day from people who are worried about their families. Doctors who are worried about their patients and people just basically worried about this basic fundamental right that they consider is something extremely important to them. If you are worried about anything, health care is the number one thing. People should be out there talking about it. Thanks very much for that. Steve paterson for us inne torrance, california. Richard engel is reporting from the streets. What happens next in the fight against terror . Yeah. Everybody two seconds dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance. Through the Tuition Assistance program, every day mcdonalds helps more people go to college. Its part of our commitment to being americas best first job. At this hour, iraqi forces are closing in on the pockets of resistance in mosul. Militants desperately struck back. Dispatching female suicide bombers. At least 15 People Killed in two separate attacks. This comes just days after u. S. Backed forces retook the site of the grand alnuri mosque. Aep albaghdadi, in the only video we have of him, claimed it years ago. Chief correspondent is in mosul with more. Richard . We are in the center of the old city of mosu li, this is the front line in the war against isis. Can you see there is smoke rising from almost everywhere in the sky lines. Most of that is where there have been air strikes called in by u. S. Forces. Americans are backing up this operation but it is iraqi troops like this man right here doing front line fighting, Clearing House to house and we have seen its been very difficult fighting. When you go in houses are booby trapped. There is room to room fighting. We are with soldiers not with us right now because they were injured in the fighting that had to be evacuated and literally carried out across the rubble. It is a tough fight but iraqis say with the american support they are winning it. There is only a little bit to go in the city. A little bit more to clear for all of mosu li is free from isis control. There are still people here. Still some civilians. A lot have left but civilians living in this area. Many of them were trapped because they were so close to isis fighters they were hostages. Now as iraqis are advancing, it is opening the way for civilians to leave the area and iraqis here, american commanders we have been speaking to, think this operation could be finished in just a matter of days. Thats Richard Engel reporting this afternoon. Victory may be near in mosul. But the fight from isis is far from over in that city. A Foreign Correspondent for the New York Times she studies this very closely. With me now and while its almost over, it is always that last mile or that last few days that is very, very difficult. And it is barbaric and horrible with ice sis doing in mosul. They arent running. They are fighting until the end. They are fighting until the end. And isis is welding people shut inside their homes. Most of these houses and old mosu li have gate on the front and ice sis welding them shot so civilians cannot leave and as richard says, they become hostages making it very difficult for the coalition to go in without killing innocents. The u. S. Backed iraqi forces and others are just better trained than a few years ago when they lost most of iraq to isis. They will be defeated in mosul and other places. But ultimately, i want to read you this excerpt from the atlantic. It says the truth is isis has been planning for defeat for months if not years. Losing the city has long been part of the plan and even though the loss of the self declared iraqi capital is a blow to the groups territorial preventions just because it is fallen. They lost the territory they held this years and years ago and came back stronger. They go all the way back to the profit mohamed and say the profit died but their accolades were of course taking this perverted a view of religion have come back ever stronger than is the vision that they prop you wi propagate. Westerners, the attacks that we hear of as perpetrated by people who have allegiance to isis in many cases have no relationship other than someone expressing their frailty. A lot of cases we have seen now have at least a digital connection. There is at least that. But you are right. The majority of the attacks in the west are being carried out by people who have not the call territory. And territorial ambitions dont matter much. Exactly. Where it does matter is where the territory makes money. The main source of funding is not oil. The main source is taxati
